If you are not looking at “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert“Right now you miss the meeting TV. To say that the gloves have come off since then Colbert’s cancellation message last week would be a rough understatement. Not because Colbert really ever held back on his opinions, but a host mockery has more rage.
Thursday, July 24, he is even Introduced a monologue waste segment “Show uninterrupted.” Of course, this announcement shows a false and the graphics used for it probably costs $ 40 million. That even light -hearted – no more scandalous than “arrested development” threw down It’s the last season at Fox (Someone who is old enough to remember that reference?). However, during the first week of shows like a fallen angel, Colbert seemed to repeatedly play chicken with his network, CBS and its parent company, Paramount, such as just Got OK from Trump Justice Department for a merger with Skydance (set to close August 7.) Not only did he refer to the cancellation and Skydance business several times, he also went even harder on Trump.
One then Other Late night Programs went just as hard (or harder) on CBS and Paramount. On Monday, July 21, most of the other hosts even appeared In a Colbert segmentShowcasing Support for its competitor. References abounded in their own segments – some humorous, some ominous warnings – including some strong words from Jon Stewart at the “The Daily Show”, which is broadcast on colleague Paramount Property Comedy Central.
“Shows to say something, shows that takes a stand, shows that is not afraid – this is not a” we speak the truth to power. “We don’t. Said Stewart. “And if you believe, as a company or as a network, you can make yourself so innocent that you can serve a cruel so tasteless that you will never be on the boy king’s radar – a) Why will anyone look at you? And (b)) you are wrong.”
Fellows hosts Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel seem to be next on Trump’s cancellation wish list – considering he required their cancellation And everyone. Fallon has been on vacation and has therefore not had a monologue to answer. However, he did Write a statement It told the network, “Fuck You and all your Sheldon’s CBS.”
On July 21st -showFallon said, “I’m your host, yes … at least for tonight. I don’t like it. I don’t like what’s going on a bit.”
Fallon got a digging on CBS’s streaming platform and added: “And many people now threaten to boycott the network. Yep. CBS could lose millions of viewers plus tens of hundreds watching Paramount+.” The “Tonight Show” hosts also sang about Trump’s continued Epstein drama and his late night interests in the song below.
Comedy Central seems to have received the last laugh – so far, at least – on the whole debate. The AI segment seen ‘around the world This week came with the permission of “South Park”, which perhaps delivered the most blowing satire by President Donald Trump yet. This came just a few hours after the series completed a deal with paramount To continue for another five years and just one day before the Ministry of Justice approved the merger. On Wednesday, July 23, the section of “South Park” also literally spoke to the Skydance business in a scene involving no one but Jesus Christ.
“You saw what happened to CBS,” Christ’s mothers by worn teeth. “Well, guess who owns CBS? Paramount! You really want to end up like Colbert?
Since July 25, former “late show” legend David LettermanColbert’s forerunner, chimen in on his youtube channel.
“I don’t think it was money … It was purely cowardice,” Letterman said, and continued to praise “exactly, sharp, witty political satirist” Colbert. He then raised CBS/Paramount’s decision and said “What the hell is Skydance, honest with Christ? Is it a discount airline? Is that what it is? I think one day, if not today, the people at CBS, who have manipulated and handled this will be embarrassed because this is this is Gutless.
But no one went harder on Paramount than Colbert himself. In his statements that discussed the “The Late Show” record, Paramount repeatedly mentioned the show’s annual losses of $ 40 million. This figure has been questioned, and it was a number referred to repeatedly by Colbert all week.
“I could see us lose $ 24 million, but where Paramount could possibly spent the other 16 … Oh yes, he said In the section 21 July.
In the section 23, he referred to how Trump claimed that CBS/Paramount would provide another $ 20 million per year in administration approved air time.
“By bending the knee, they lost like $ 40 million this year,” Said Colbert. “The better watch out. They may be interrupted for purely financial reasons.”
This was just the tip of the iceberg for Colbert. It almost seems as if the Stalwart late evening’s presence dares to cancel him before May 2026, an idea that was canceled this week by Time. Sure, his tone was not one who sounds … eh, let’s say Copasetic, with his employers.
But you are the judge. What is Colbert’s game? Here are some of his wavy comments from the week’s exhibitions, break from his Full monologues:
“Over the weekend, it dropped that they kill our show. But they made a mistake: they left me alive!”
“All the king’s horses and all the king’s men could not hide who dumped with their friend.”
“It’s not a good look when flying on the pedophile’s plane enough times to earn diamond perverse status.”
“What should you tell me next – that the Pope is in the Catholic files? That a bear is on the cover of this month’s modern Woods pooper?”
And of course he also said briefly, “The president was friends with a pedophile.”
The gloves are really suspended.
